Synopsis

If Tommy Winter hadn't needed money so badly to continue his college education, it might all never have happened.

But he did, and very badly indeed, so he advertised himself as a consulting psychologist for people who were afraid of losing their minds.

Before long, his office is swamped with some of the craziest, looniest, wildest half-wits ever gathered in one place.

It takes all his ingenuity, and the help of a friend, Steve, to keep things under control once the parade of nit-wits comes rolling in!

A grand cast of characters in a completely nutty farce!
